Customer Question

In this case, if the mother-in-law sent 650000 euros to her daughter who lives and is a legal alien in the USA, do you happen to know how much tax the mother in law would have to pay in taxes in Spain? Also, would you happen to know the best way to get the money in the USA with least amount of Spain taxes on mother in law? Thanks!

Welcome to Just Answer. My name is ***** ***** it will be my pleasure to assist you with your tax question today.Inheritance and Gift Tax (IGT) is payable by the recipient (your daughter) of the assets at rates of between 7.65% and 34%. Residents are taxed on their worldwide assets and non-residents are only taxed on the assets and/or rights located in Spain. The amount of tax paid depends upon the value of assets received. Tax rates are subject to a further multiplication factor (ranging from 0.5 to 1.4) based on the relationship of the recipient to the donor or deceased, and the existing wealth of the recipient.Although IGT is controlled by each Autonomous Community, there has been a general trend towards full or almost full exemption in recent years for Spanish resident taxpayers making transfers to descendents and spouses. These improvements may be extended to non-residents under pressure from the EU.http://www.expatfinancialadvicespain.com/#!spanish-tax-facts-2013/c24pshttp://www.spanish-living.com/inheritance-taxPlease let me know if you require further information or clarification.Thank you and best regards,Barb
